Launceston Race 5 - Find Us On Facebook Stakes
SOHO TIGER LILY (4) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last start when she scored by 2.75 metres over 1680m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she can go right on with the job. TULLAH GIRL (6) is capable on her day, and she is the next best after finishing third over 2200m at this track last time out. PORT RUN MACHINE (5) is looking to improve on his last-start modest effort behind Enjoy Life at Listed level over 2090m at Hobart seven weeks ago. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks hard to beat.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 2090m after showing early speed at Hobart, beaten 6 m by Iron Clad (2:34.80) on September 23 at $7.50. At the run before 8th (Fr6) over 2200m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Tambros Tilly (2:42.00) on September 13 at $19. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start was well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind Enjoy Life at Hobart over 2090m in a 3yo LR on August 16 at $51. Raced better the start before that where he won by 4.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Sr4) held up early, at this track (2:03.20) beating Soho Tiger Lily in 3yo on July 24 at $2.60. Rates highly. Ready to make amends.
